My Grail-Master has landed
As you may know, I am a big fan of Omega sports watches. I have an early Speedmaster and a Seamaster for quite some time now, but the Railmaster was on my wishlist for years…Maybe I was just waiting for the good one to show up ! Born in 1957, the Railmast...
Congratulations, Jeff. The Railmaster is certainly one of the most
Desirable vintage Omegas, along with the 33.3 and the Seamaster... Now you have the holy Trinity! Here is the PAF, to welcome yours. BRAVO! Nicolas ...
congratulations, jeff ! nice example with a great dial. mine are
spending their time at the bankvault....and I do not have your first example; just a few others. PAF labelled Seamaster/FAP labelled Flightmaster/normal one and the early trial period one . it is one of the nicest vintage models, omega ever made. enjoy yo...
The curious thing is that most of these Railmaster / Seamaster from the PAF
Come with the same patina... Tough to get one of the 277 CK 2914 PAF... But not impossible! Best, Nicolas. PS: I would love to find a CK 2013 FAP, and a 2998 FAP, too. ;)
ok,ok........
incl. the old sales catalogue from the factory to the Peruvian military..............kind regards. achim ...
Congratulations Jeff, a real beauty !

Wonderful addition to your stunning Omega collection, Jeff! :)
Congratulation! My 2914-1 welcomes yours! :) Related documents - Swedish catalog 1958, price 291 SEK. The specification in both documents states waterproof down to 60 m. Swedish catalog 1959, price 310 SEK. Price went up 6.5 % in one year... Fairly modest...
Most days, I'm happy . . .
. . . to be me. Today, I wish I were you! :-) Congrats, Jeff. Here's a movement image of one of my latest additions . . . . . . to welcome yours. A 30T2SC, a near relative of the cal 284, that's fitted to a ref 2179; currently at my watchmaker for restora...
Stunning!
Congrats for such a splendid specimen, in my opinion the most desirable model Thank you for your great report, Kind regards
What a great timepiece Jeff! Definitevely a MUST in any...
... serious Omega collection... or in any collection for that matter! Viewing yours makes me think again I badly need one on my wrist! Interesting dial of course! Congrats and enjoy so much in good health! Very cordially, Abel.
Thanks for the pictures and the education.
I did not know the history. Great congratulations on a very exciting acquisition.
Congratulations on finding this grail....
...I seem to have missed its first posting (quite a few months ago). It does look very stunning with the patina - and of course the arrow hands give it a good sporting look (not too far away from todays PO?) All the best, Cheers Tony
Thanks Tony !
hopefully you will come to Marseille again and I can show you this watch !
Well, actually, right at the very end of this month....
do you think you'll be around, and we can have dinner? I'll arrive Sunday 28th. So would be free the Sunday or Monday evening - (29th Sept) I'll bring my RN SM300 Cheers Tony
